Relay connections The IPL T CR48 relay control interface can be connected to any device that can be activated by a relay closure. This allows the relay to be tied to devices such as lights (preset recall), projector lifts, screen or drape controllers, etc.
IPL T CR48 interface configuration When you power on the IPL T CR48 unit for the first time, there are two ways to set up the IP address: Use the ARP command method.
The ARP command tells your computer to associate the IPL T CR48 unit’s MAC address with the assigned IP address. You must then use Ping to access the IPL T CR48 unit, at which point the device server’s IP address will be reconfigured.
Page 28
After verifying that the change was successful, issue the arp –d command at the DOS prompt. For example: arp –d 10.13.170.15 will remove 10.13.170.15 from the arp table arp –d* to remove all static IP addresses from the arp table. IPL T CR48 • Connection and Configuration...
Configuring the IPL T CR48 using direct PC connection This type of connection is used initially to connect to and configure the IPL T CR48 unit. The unit’s default settings (IP address, subnet mask, and (optional) administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet (WAN).
Connection and Configuration, cont’d After configuring your IPL T CR48, repeat steps 3 and 4 and change your TCP/IP settings back to their original configuration. Firmware upgrades Firmware upgrades become available as improvements are made to the versatility and functionality of the IPL T CR48.
